I immediately thought you should bow hunt the property as I read your post until I got to the bottom where you mention it. I would go with a good stand up in the air and that way you can easily pick and choose your shots to greatly eliminate the problems you mentioned. I use all ladder stands because of my age and ease of getting in and out of them. Whatever you buy, please also use a good fall restraint 100% of the time going up and down and while in it. It sounds like you may have a real honeyhole if you do things properly, so good luck! Oh, and welcome to the site!!!
